The other four are actively doing troop support, I am just screwing around here trying to get Sailors to pay attention to me. So vote accordingly. Leta, Jamie & Caro, Wendy are friends who I admire for the time and effort they put into supporting our military. Maja is a great Tweep who is a stalwart on #MilMonday, I would be happy with anyone of them.

U.S. Air Force - Now this was easy!!! 30 Days Through Afghanistan! WooHoo! Get out there and vote for Ken & Nathan (I owe them a post from the Roundtable, I haven't forgotten.) Click here to see their Milblogging page. Please consider giving them your "Air Force" vote.

U.S. Army - This had to be a super secret vote for me because I know 3 of these people well and love them. A fourth is an email/Twitter friend. So I can't sway you or reveal my vote. I will just say, this category has very worthy contenders and no matter who wins, I will be happy.

U.S. Military Veteran - Now, no one loves Matt O'Blackfive more than I do, but the guys at This Ain't Hell need a little love, so I am going with them. Besides TSO is a fellow New Englander and a Red Sox fan.

U.S. Military Spouse - ArmyHousehold6 and ArmyWifeToddlerMom are friends of mine and normally, I'd be torn. But Heaven knows we have to give this to "A Little Pink in a World of Camo" because there just isn't anything else I have to offer. Mrs. P (Rachel Porto) lost her Marine husband 3 weeks ago today. She has a post up today calling attention to the charity "Hope For The Warriors". She is carrying on by looking out for others, taking care of her daughter and blogging. Please vote for Rachel.

Foreign National Military - I have no guidance to offer.

U.S. Reporter - Whew! Another easy one! Susan Katz KeatingU.S. Navy - I am so happy with alllllll the finalists. But you know I have to stay the course and back the USNI blog. But I am sooooo pleased that my friend ADM Harvey is among the finalists with his U.S. Fleet Forces Command blog. How awwesome is that?

Maggie, THANK YOU for that endorsement! The "other guy" has pulled ahead in the polls, but I'm so thrilled with the endorsement I'm going to print it out and frame it. Maybe a badge on my blog... "Endorsed by Boston Maggie and Chromed Curses."

As for your own wonderful blog.... the Navy oughtta give you an award, themelves. Seriously. And a private ride on Old Ironsides. With a good pal by your side : )

About Me

I am 54, happily divorced, mother of two, grandmother of the most spectacular baby boy. I am a registered Republican with fiscally conservative views; libertarian social views & ardently supportive of a strong US Military
I was born and raised in Boston and can not conceive of living anywhere else. I think Brian Lamb of CSpan is the sexiest man on TV. If you want my attention, you have to be aggressive and smart and you have to feed my head.
